RoboCup

RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition proposed in 1995[1] and founded in 1997. The aim is to promote robotics and AI research, by offering a publicly appealing, but formidable challenge. The name RoboCup is a contraction of the competition's full name, "Robot Soccer World Cup", but there are many other stages of the competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior". In 2014 the world's competition was held in Brazil. RoboCup 2015 was held in Hefei, China.
